8/13 Poem of the Month

Sails are Down

 

Sales are down,

Because sails are down

Not too many out to sea,

Too much cost, too much fee,

Someone tried to sell a boat to me,

It is hard enough to keep the house,

I’ve been seeing my wife in the same old blouse,

Sure a boat would be fine,

Especially one on which you could dine,

Trouble is…

There is not much food on the table,

Remember when things were stable?

I’m glad my heart is not attached to things,

In this way my life is free of strings,

It is life and the loved that really matter,

When I speak to my Maker it is never mere chatter…
